- $5,000-TO-WIN GOLD CROWN SUPER SERIES OPENER NEXT UP FOR SOUTHERN ONTARIO SPRINTS
ST. MARYS, Ont. (May 5, 2025) - One of the highest-paying events in the history of Buxton Speedway is next up on the 2025 Southern Ontario Sprints series schedule! A $5,000 prize awaits the winner of the inaugural SOS Gold Crown Super Series event on Saturday, June 7 at the Chatham-Kent oval, while each A-Main starter will earn at least $500. Four events at four different tracks are part of the Gold Crown Super Series, including June 7 at Buxton Speedway, June 27 at Ohsweken Speedway, June 28 at Brighton Speedway, and October 4 at Merrittville Speedway. Thanks to the efforts of Nitro 54 Variety, Tammy 10 Media, and Ackland Insurance, all four of these events will pay $5,000-to-win and $500-to-start, with a total purse of almost $18,000 each night. The series is designed to provide maximum value for fans, teams, promoters, and sponsors. "It is widely recognized that owning a 360 Sprint Car in Ontario can be challenging, with unfavorable exchange rates as well as the potential tariff costs," noted SOS owner Peter Turford. "This is our move to help our teams fight the never-ending costs battle. "When combined with Ohsweken Speedway's high-paying events throughout the season culminating with the Northern Sprint Car Nationals, the co-sanctioned event Great Lakes Super Sprints and Southern Ontario Sprints at Buxton on August 23, as well as the Empire Super Sprints series events at Ohsweken, Brighton, Brockville, and Cornwall, there are now several opportunities for teams to compete for higher purses throughout the season in the province of Ontario." Mike Bowman currently leads the SOS points standings thanks to his win at the Merrittville Speedway Spring Sizzler.

- BOWMAN TAKES SPRING SIZZLER WIN AT MERRITTVILLE
THOROLD, Ont. (April 26, 2025) - The Southern Ontario Sprints series opened the 2025 season at Merrittville Speedway's Spring Sizzler on Saturday. Mike Bowman took the win on a chilly evening. Bowman and Baily Heard made up the front row for the 25 lap feature, but only two laps were completed before Joe Trenca and Alex Bergeron tangled to bring out a yellow flag. Bowman stayed up front after two more yellows for spins by Dylan Westbrook and Ashton VanEvery. Darren Dryden took the second spot away from Heard after the VanEvery spin on lap 12, and stayed with Bowman through the second half of the race. Bowman had to fight off challenges from Dryden as the pair raced through traffic, until a spin by Matt Farnham with two laps remaining brought out the yellow flag. The subsequent single-file restart gave Bowman a chance to lock down the win, and he drove on to claim his first 360 Sprint Car win at Merrittville; all of Bowman's previous 360 Sprint Car wins had come at Ohsweken Speedway. Dryden took the runner-up position, while Heard rounded out the podium with his best career finish. Todd Hoddick and DJ Christie took the remaining spots in the top five, while Jordan Poirier, Ryan Turner, Dylan Westbrook, Allan Downey, and Eric Gledhill finished in the top ten. DJ Christie claimed the Ackland Insurance Quick Time Award, while Travis Cunningham was The Drivers Project Hard Charger Award winner. 14-year-old rookie Skylar Evans made his Sprint Car debut on Saturday, running second fastest in his Timed Hot Lap group and advancing from 20th to finish 14th in the feature. A total of 22 drivers from Ontario, Quebec, and New York made the trip to Merrittville. The SOS organization would like to thank all the fans, track officials, and race teams who braved cold temperatures and a questionable weather forecast to put on a great show. Next on the SOS schedule is a Gold Crown Super series race at Buxton Speedway on June 7 paying $5,000-to-win and $500-to-start.

- OHSWEKEN SPEEDWAY OPENS EARLY IN PREPARATION FOR OUTLAWS
Ohsweken Speedway traditionally sees no traffic before the month of May each year. But with the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars coming May 14th and 15th track management knew the racing surface needed to be tested.
- Empire Super Sprints Set Sights on 2025 Season
By Curtis Berleue (Oswego, NY) | As the weather in upstate New York begins to trend warmer, the anticipation grows for the 2025 race season. Entering their 42nd year of competition, the Empire Super Sprints are set to first hit the track on April 12 at the Outlaw Speedway to kick off their campaign that includes 32 events from April to October. While many of the dates and venues on the schedule are familiar for tour regulars, a notable addition in 2025 is a return to the Ohsweken Speedway on Friday May 30, followed by a visit to the Brighton Speedway on Saturday May 31. The popular CNY Speedweek also returns from July 2-6, with stops at Can-Am, Utica-Rome, Brewerton, Fulton and Weedsport - all paying $2,500 to the winner. Eight races on the schedule are set to pay at least $3,000 to win, with five events paying $4,000 to win. Outlaw Speedway will host four of them (April 18, July 25, September 19 and October 17) and Freedom Motorsports Park on June 7 will be the fifth. The Annual Kevin Ward Jr. Memorial Asphalt Spectacular on June 14, along with the annual Quebec trip to Autodromes Granby and Drummond on August 22 and 23 will all pay $3,000 to win. Fresh off his third championship, Jordan Poirier looks to return to the tour in '25 with his eyes set on defending his title. The Quebec driver is hoping to maintain his consistency while utilizing a new GSR chassis - a switch he made at the end of 2024 in preparation for the upcoming season. Many of the top drivers in ESS competition have already made laps on track in 2025, with Billy VanInwegen, Joe Kata, Dan Bennett, Scott Kreutter and Glenn Styres competing in the Chili Bowl. Jordan Thomas, Davie Franek, Brett Wright, Chase Moran and Glenn Styres have also been on track, competing in various Florida Speedweeks events. Both Franek and Styres already have wins under their belt, with Franek picking up a USCS win at Southern raceway in Milton, FL and Styres picking up a win in a UMP Modified at Volusia Speedway. Much of the continued success of the Empire Super Sprints can be attributed to a great group of marketing partners. In 2025, the tour is excited to welcome back Rifenburg Contracting, Cobra Coaches, Lacaillade Masonry, Pinnacle Investments, A-Verdi Storage containers, Ashley Lynn Winery, Hoosier Tire Canada, and E&V Energy. New additions to the list of marketing partners include Elab Smokers Boutique, sponsoring each heat race in 2025; Wilwood Disc Brakes, sponsoring the 13th place finisher each night; Slade Precision Shocks, and Keizer Aluminum Wheels. For the latest news, information, and schedule updates regarding the Empire Super Sprints be sure to check the series website (www.EmpireSuperSprints.com) and follow along on Facebook (Empire Super Sprints), X (formerly Twitter - @ESSprints) and Instagram (@empiresupersprints).
